I know God's supposed to be omnipotent, but do you really think that means he can do anything? I mean, George Carlin used to talk about kids at his Sunday School class asking the priest all the trick questions; "Hey, if God is all-powerful does that mean he can make a rock so big that he, himself, can't lift it? Hey! We got 'im now! Ha!"

But those kind of logical gotchas aside, I think there is evidence of one inability that God possesses. Not saying it's beyond his power, just pointing out that he doesn't seem to do it.

Public Speaking.

Hey, I don't fault him. Lots of people - intelligent and eloquent - just don't do well talking in front of large groups of people. And God seems to be one of them. All the records I know of where God speaks directly (not sending angels or heavenly hosts) it's just to one person: Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed. They then go out and do the talking.

I'm sure it's something that God's worked on. I can just picture him an Moses up at the top of Mt. Sinai.

Moses: Ok, God, I've brought all the Children of Israel here out of Egypt. Now's the time for you to make your will and presence known to all.
God: All of them? Wow. That.... that's a lot of people.
Moses: You alright there, God?
God: Y-yeah. Fine. No problem. Just gotta... just going over a few things. *ahem*
[long pause]
Moses: You know, if this is going to be a while, we could send out for more manna.
God: Just don't rush me OK?!
Moses: Ok! Ok! Just sayin' ...
[another long pause]
Moses: You know what I do? I try to picture the audience naked.
God: I'm omniscient. I see them naked anyway.
Moses: Ah.
[yet another long pause]
Moses: Hey, um... would you like me to do it?
God: Would you?!
Moses: I mean, I don't think it'll quite have the same effect...
God: No, no! You'll be great!
Moses: *sigh* Fine. Can I see your lecture notes?
*THUMP* *THUMP*
Moses: Stone tablets?! You couldn't have used index cards?
